Character Concept History[]
Harper, alongside Aspen Heitz, Cybil, Karma and Maddy, was a Troll originally designed for use in Trolls, but aside from her and Aspen, none of them ever made it to scene. Their designs are found in The Art of DreamWorks Trolls, and they later appeared in various related Trolls media. They were first named in the extras and credits for Trolls.
From the concepts of her published in The Art of DreamWorks Trolls, she remained similar to her final version, with only parts of her design such as the paint being tidied up. Her working name was "Painter Troll", and early DVD and Blu-Ray releases of Trolls tend to credit her under this name in the movie's closing credits.

Follow Your Art[]
Harper's first appearance is in the Trolls prequel novel Follow Your Art, where she's the main protagonist. It's never said how old she is, but it's known that she's of age to open an art gallery, as is the main plot. The problem is, she doesn't know what to pick for the opening exhibit. Truth be told, she's a bit of a worrywart.
With the help of Poppy, she looks over a lot of potential Trolls and their exhibits (which include but aren't limited to DJ Suki, Cooper, Satin & Chenille, and Guy Diamond). At the end, she decides to use everyone's projects to make the opening gala the best it could be.
